IBM PLM Solutions, with CATIA(R) V5 for collaborative product
development and SMARTEAM(R) for collaborative lifecycle management
from Dassault Systemes, will allow Evernham Motorsports to develop
high performance race cars through virtual testing rather than
building costly, full-scale physical prototypes.

Additionally, Evernham Motorsports will integrate the new PLM
platform with its own inventory and maintenance programs. By linking
with PLM Solutions from IBM and Dassault Systemes, Evernham engineers
will make design modifications while accessing car building-material
information, field usage statistics, and inventory all in one
streamlined view, saving precious hours between races. This will allow
Evernham Motorsports to gain efficiencies and focus more time on
innovative ways to build faster, safer competition vehicles.

"With 38 races per season and constant changes and revisions to
our race cars, our down time has to be undetectable," said Dr. Eric
Warren, Technical Director, Evernham Motorsports. "We want to
streamline our approach and coordinate everything from manufacturing
to maintenance. IBM PLM Solutions with Dassault Systemes software have
given us the tools to organize the entire flow of product data."

The hardware platform chosen for the new PLM system is comprised
of IBM M Pro and Z Pro IntelliStations and an IBM X Series eServer.
